Found! Sneaky hidden which made the find more exciting thank you! Hint: the opposite side
Last of this attribute needed for a May challenge! GPS was sending me to the other side but my caching senses suggested to try the other side where it was soon located! TFTC
Yet another cracking morning in South East Queensland. Heading out west today to pick up a few caches that have been on the radar for awhile and will help with a few challenge caches Im currently working on. Arrived at the suggested parking location and quickly made my way to ground zero. I soon had the cache in hand and extracted the log. Mark made and safely returned to its hiding place ready for the next cacher.A big thanks to the cache owner for making this cache available to be found by like minded individuals.Cheers
Second time trying to find this cache. No luck. Have messaged owner last time I attempted but no reply if anyone finds it, please please message me with a hint. We are so lost
Oh wow came back a second time and finally got it. Don’t give up. Tftf
Looking at past comments I was worried we wouldn’t find it but found it really quickly.
Meh. Should’ve brought the kids - they would’ve found it in two seconds.
Out for the day with nikid1 in search of a particular attribute for a May challenge. Lots of yellow lines around here so we had a bit of a walk to GZ, lucky we can do with the exercise! Lots of places to look here & I'm sure we looked in them all 3 times before I spied the cache in a spot we had both previously checked, it was on the opposite side to where my GPS was sending me.
Thanks for the cache Alydave123

Out this way with KerriMG chasing some attributes for May.
This one had us with a case of cache blindness but it was KerriMG that made the find in a place I had already checked .

Found! Has a pencil inside for those that don’t have a pen. The coordinates were a little off so it pays to look around a little bit
I had a bit of trouble with my gps here but a thorough search of the area and I soon found it. TFTC!
Needing a cache for the day, and also trying to qualify for a crazy challenge cache on the Northside I thought I’d return to Ipswich…
Geepers had me on the other side of the path… I’d even sent out a PAF but I eventually found the container without assistance… it definitely wasn’t in the second place I looked…
Tftc…

Was a very easy find when I actually stopped to look lol.
Kids got involved, fun !
Didn't have a pen but I'll go re sign it one day
Thanks for the find

This evening, a few new geocaches were published around Goodna and Redbank, and so I decided to take the opportunity to head that way for a few geocaches. I had a few night walks around Redbanks' bikeways, and also visited the various waypoints/Locations of the *Red Soil of Redbank* Adventure Lab.
I parked opposite this cache in a small gate entrance and crossed to have a few locals/hoodlums walking past. I realised that I should probably be more aware of my surroundings around here, and although they looked in my direction and muttered a few words, I think they were more talk than anything. Anyway, my attention went back to possible hiding spots of this cache. After a short search, I managed to find the nicely hidden cache here. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks Alydave123 for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

Failed this one back in march, but in keeping with the modern wonder here, I redeemed myself today and found it. TFTC, Alydave123.
Looked yesterday but couldn’t find it as GPS was jumping around heaps went back today n found it
Tftc!!
This one was a bit tricky, as the GPS was all over the shop but I spotted it and was very pleased with myself as we had nearly given up!

One of the best things about geocaching is making the find but more importantly writing about the experience at the pub. Every cache is awesome after a few beers and the autocorrect on the phone really comes into fruition.
You don’t know how hard it is to write supercalafragalisticwexpeladocilus [what no autocorrect?] or any other Harry Potter spell on the turps. After a few beers your fingers become wizards on the keyboard. I know my wife and mistress would agree.
This was our first find of the day and I could have parked closer but reversing in a straight line is better left for people doing their driving test and other people that are sober. We wanted the walk back anyway. Three hundred or one hundred metres are still big hard words to spell after a few shandies [My phone said it made 167 Autocorrects writing this log]. My phone lies! tftc

This was our second visit to the cache. The first time we came in with preconceived ideas, not good. After reading some logs an easy find,. Another lesson learnt. Thanks
Out with Geopartner to find a few caches in Ipswich today.
Took a little while and Geopartner gave up and I soon found the cache after that.
Signed the log and returned to where I found it.
TNLNSL TFTC Thanks alydave123 All good with this cache

Our for a little tour west towards Ipswich taking a spin on the Ipswich Motorway cycleway and beyond. Unfortunately this is not one of the great cycelways and at times is a little confusing as to where it goes and many times is disjointed path and road combinations.
Good cycleway along here, so good i actually zoomed past the cache and had to double back.

Our last couple of caching days have focussed on the northside & slightly west so today we thought we'd scratch around a few spots near Ipswich to collect a few smilies still roaming free!
Our ninth of 15 finds today.
A note to the COs of the caches we found today … please excuse any discrepancies between physical log dates & online log dates, I just couldn't get my act together & I'm sure I had 7/8, 8/7, 7/7 & who knows what else on some of the earlier finds.
Can't help Old Timer's!
The compass was all over the place here & kept wanting to take me across the bridge then repeatedly back & forth.
I tired of this very quickly, put my phone in my pocket, looked around & decided on the best place to actually begin the search.
Walked over & …
Well, look at that!
A cache … LOL.
Made our mark & replaced as found.

T-Tech had to go up to Mt Flinders for work today, and I kept him company on the drive from Brisbane, then had quite a few hours to do some solo caching Ipswich became my target area [^]
A return visit for me to this one, and the GPSr still wanted me to go over the fence and down into the water I checked a few spots before discovering the container. TFTC, Alydave123.

Found it after looking so many times haha unfortunately didn't have a pen but will be coming back to write in the log soonish
Wow I found it second time around! I was looking for ages and didn't think I was going to again but then I spotted it. It's actually an obvious spot once you know where it is!! TFTC! Glad to finally have a smiley for this one!
Cache is closer to the road than the outer walkway .... PAF will do you no good .. inserted new log while I was there as the previous log was nearly full
Out for a few hours again with ankakeca
Not a lot of parking here, so good thing Bumbles is a small car! We searched high and low for this one, but didn't get the find A PAF was sent to the last finder, and she just laughed, as she said it was an obvious hide. Precise details as to where and what still didn't help us, so I think the CO needs to check on it.

Out and about with IolatheK today. It looked like another wet caching Wednesday when we caught up in a car park. As I made the wise choice to leave my sunnies in my car the weather improved rapidly and it turned out quite nice.
We searched here, there, left, right, on the knees and toes. Nothing. We PAF to get an idea what exactly we were looking for but this info did not help to find the cache. So we left empty-handed and must add one more DNF for this cache.

I decided to finish off some caches in this area. I searched everywhere. I even had a muggle help me but I couldn't find it. Not sure if I was cache blind as this is supposed to be an easy find. I will keep an eye on it.
Needed an R for the December challenge cache and this one was on our way back to toowoomba. Relying only on kestal's phone as mine was flat, we made the find after bluffing to a muggle who was searching for some lost dogs. Tftc
Headed out caching with angloj for the day. Second last find for the day and after searching in a couple of spots we made the find. We were both a little surprised to see it hadn't been found since May. The hide and log are in great condition. TFTC an old hag
Easy find after I ignored the fact that the gps tried to put me in the creek. Cool companion! Signed and replaced. TFTC.
